Liriodendress Press publishes books brimming
with the verdant voices of the plants.
The Divine Voice speaks in Nature.
We respond, listen, open our hearts, and lend our pens.
At Liriodendress Press, plants write books.
Tell our stories, said the Tulip Poplar tree.
The request came many years ago when the relationship
between Tulip Poplar and I was just beginning. At the time,
I thought the stories to be told were only those belonging
to the tree, but time taught me that the stories to be told
belonged not only to the tree but also to me. The stories
were indeed our stories, a shared reality.
This realization occasioned the collaborative writing of
I AM the Tree, a memoir of the life danced by and between
Tulip Poplar and me. With the I AM the Tree manuscript completed, I stood on my deck one summer morning and considered
publication possibilities. Trees rose all around me.
I listened as their foliate voices rustled in the breeze.
Tell our stories, Tulip Poplar said to me. Create a place where
plants write books. Make a way for our voices to be heard.
You have everything you need. Create a publishing press with me.
Liriodendress Press has a nice ring.
